Wahpeton Gazette: T. w. New, the genial
engineer, whose run is from Crookston to Mi
not, was in the Gazette Office Monday, aud
gave us some facts in relation to the Manitoba
road and its contemplated work for the season.
Near Minot the company has bridge across
canyon, which contains 100000 feet Of lum-
Der. 1t il 1l6 feet high, and 1000 feet long.
1t is the intention to fill 1t with gravel at some
future time, although according 10 esti-
mates it will take 100000 yards of earth.
1t Is intended to extend the track 800 miles
further west this season. To move all Of tho
material necessary for this extension it is esti-
mated that commencing on the 14th day of
February and working every day until the 10Th
Of September. it will require seven trains
day with twenty four cars In each train to do
thn work. The company intends to extend
other branches this season, so as to add 1000
miles Of new track to the system this year.
AS further hint at the magnitude of the CON-
pany's operations we note the fact that it now
has 1fty-fve engines in its employ, hired from
other roads at s25 per day. mfr. New is still
looking we'll and hearty, although lie puts in
fOrty-six days work to the MONTH

ExtraditiOn Trenty With England.
The text OF the extradition treaty between
the United States and Great Britain, which
failed to receive consideration by the senate at
the last session OF congress, has been made
public, and the document meets with no hos
tile criticism on either side OF the line. It is
seldom that proposed change of such import.
ance as this ia 30 acceptable to all parties COZ
cerned. 1t Is well known that the laxity of
our extradition arrangements with Great
Britain has caused the Dominion Of Canada to
become an asylum for our criminals Of Ger
tain stamp. Neither country is desirous of
agreement will effectually do away with most
Of it, The treaty Is extremely short, contain
ing but seven brief articles. In the first of
these 1t is agreed that to the list of extradt-
able offsnses there shall he added manslaughter,
burglary, embezZlement or larceny Of the value
Of $50 or upwards, and malicious injury to
property whereby the life Of any person shall
be endangered. This last clause, having been
added evidently to cover possible dynamite
outrages is modified by the condition that it
shall have effect only when such injuries consti-
tute crime according to the laws Of both the
high contracting parties. But the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, in order to make
assurance douby sure, added the following:
''or according to the laws of that political
division Of either country In which the otfsnse
shall have been committed and Of that polit-
offender shall be arrested" This exceeding
carefulness did not grow out Of any tenderness
for the dynamiter, but out Of the determination
to which the United States has consistently
held, that extradition treaties shall be so
framed rs not to apply under any possible
fenders: The language here used makes that
impossible.
The second article makes the terms Of the
treaty apply TO persons who have been con-
victed Of any OF these ofenses, but upon whom

forbids any retrospective application of the
treaty. The fourth EXPLICITLY prohibits the
surrender OF any criminal charged with an Of
Tense Of political nature, or whenit is proved
that the demand for bis surrender is actually
made in order that he may be tried on polit-
ical charge The fifth guards against very
common abuse Of sxtraditon agreements.
It is declared that when fugitive criminal
is surrendered by either of the high contracting
parties, lie shall neither be tried nor detained
for any other offense than that proved by the
facts on which he was surrendered, until he
has had an opportunity Of returning to the
state by which he was given up. The seventh
declares the treaty in force ten days after it's
ratification and publication, and terminated
after either party has signifed its wish to be
released from the engagement. This docu-
mant has been settled BY the agents Of the two
countries and signed by Lord Roseberry and
Minister Phelps. With the single emendation
above noted, it met the approval Of the senate
committee. 1t is unfortunate that 1t was not
Immediately ratified, but the senate has an
exasperating deliheration when treatieg are to
he considered. 1t Is not, however, in any way
doubtful that it will be approved early in the
coming session, and that some of the most
fragrant abuses growing out of our lack Of
such alliance az INST financial crimes will thus
be effectively and permanently cursd.-Pio-
